Forest Monitoring

Every year 10 million hectares of forest are lost to deforestation.

In response, world leaders have committed to halt deforestation and restore 1 billion hectares of degraded land by 2030.

To achieve this, countries need the right data to measure progress and enable action on the ground.

FAO’s Forest Monitoring team works to bridge this gap by:

- Developing new solutions driven by innovation and technology

- Deploying inclusive capacity development approaches to empower anyone, anywhere

- Collecting, analysing and reporting of forest data

- Accelerating the protection, restoration and sustainable use of forests
